Recently Lemmy.World admins have heavily started pushing an MBFC bot in their
bigger subs despite it being deeply unpopular with the users. However rating
propaganda was not enough for the mods as they are now actively fundraising for
MBFC as well.

Evidence MBFC is ran by a Zionist: The bias towards any pro-israel lobby website
on MBFC is astoundingly obvious. Take for example UNWatch [https://unwatch.org].
UNwatch is still pushing the UNRWA is Hamas propaganda despite it being fully
debunked by every country.

Surely a website like this spreading blatant propagands would have a poor MBFC.

MBFC knows that UNWatch is an israeli lobby but just doesn’t think that’s very
important for their credibility rating

For sites criticizing israel it works the other way around. They do not have to
fail any fact checks, just being designated as a ‘hate group’ by an israeli
lobby is enough for MBFC to become a questionable source.

This is known to the lemmy.world admins and mods Over the course of the last 9
months I have pointed out multiple times in public and private messages that
MBFC is an incredibly bad source of ratings. Multiple other users have also made
summaries for the .World mods and admins over the last week (and before that).
The admins have willingly ignored this criticism and now added a donation link
to the MBFC bot knowing full well what MBFC stands for. Lemmy.World is directly
endorsing the Zionist media lobby.

And that is indeed what Beehaw is doing, as far as I’m aware. Though curiously lemm.ee isn’t on their block list (yet)[1]
Though I think the latest word is that Beehaw is leaving Lemmy altogether in the future.

No, they block kinda specific based on certain factors, as outlined by the other person.
And yes, the lack of moderation controls is one of the big reasons why they want to leave.
